Also out in this channel between the Palo Alto Flood Control Basin (PAFCB) and Hook's Isle were 3 GREEN-WINGED TEAL. Nine BLACK SKIMMERS were roosting on an island in the outer PAFCB, with an occasional in-flight skirmish between two birds. This morning 8/30/02, I was very surprised to hear a singing WRENTIT from the cherry tree across the street from my house in urban Sunnyvale (one block off El Camino Real). At first I thought someone was playing a prank on me or perhaps had one of those bird song clocks next to an open window, but I was able to get nice looks at the bird and then heard a response from a second bird half a block away. These birds are known to disperse some, but I've never had one here before. Later, at Cumberland School on the other side of El Camino Real, I had at least three vocal immature/female SELASPHORUS HUMMINGBIRDS competing with at least 2 ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS for the prime spots in a row of blooming bottlebrush. At least one of the SELASPHORUS was an immature male. Seems like the dense marine layer got a few birds moving this morning. Wish I had been at the bay edge finding something really rare :) Mike Rogers Received: from mms3.broadcom.com (mms3.broadcom.com [63.70.210.38]) by plaidworks.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id g7UIFmV01800 for <[[email protected]]>; Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:15:48 -0700 Received: from 63.70.210.1 by mms3.broadcom.com with ESMTP (Broadcom MMS-3 SMTP Relay (MMS v4.7);); Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:15:42 -0700 X-Server-Uuid: 1e1caf3a-b686-11d4-a6a3-00508bfc9ae5 Received: from mail-sjcw-1.sw.broadcom.com (mail-sjcw-1.sw.broadcom.com [10.20.128.21]) by mon-irva-11.broadcom.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id LAA13005 for <[[email protected]]>; Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:15: 42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc2kmikem (dhcpe1-sjcw-254 [10.20.64.254]) by mail-sjcw-1.sw.broadcom.com (8.12.4/8.12.4/SSM) with SMTP id g7UIFg1Z027439 for <[[email protected]]>; Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:15:42 -0700 (PDT) From: "Mike Mammoser" <[[email protected]]> To: SBB <[[email protected]]> Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:15:00 -0700 Message-ID: <[[email protected]]> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) X-WSS-ID: 117169C4103884-01-01 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [SBB] : Sender: [[email protected]] Errors-To: [[email protected]] X-BeenThere: [[email protected]] X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: A belated report from last Saturday, 24 Aug 02.

There was one Semipalmated Plover for comparison. Right by the parking lot two each of Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs also made for a good comparison. And, rather weirdly, I logged my first ever Marbled Godwits in the Alviso area. Probably of no interest to anyone else the plover was my 214th Santa Clara County bird in a little over two-and-a-half years. This equals my entire UK list, which took three-and-a-half years. So, despite being home to Silicon Valley this is still a very birdy area.

After Frank Vanslager and I were shown the COMU by Pat and Roland we headed up the bay (to another county) and refound the adult male non-breeding HARLEQUIN DUCK as well as a couple other goodies not normally seen in "the county." In any case we decided to revisit the COMU on our way home. Unfortunately, however, we were unable to relocate the bird, our conjecture being that the ill or lost bird had at least regained bay during our two hour absence (9:30 to 11:30 AM).

It has moved across the entrance channel to the Palo Alto Estuary, from the Hooks Island side to the boat ramp side. It was on the mud flat on the boat ramp side of the channel perhaps 200 yards into the estuary from the ramp. A few times the bird tried to lift itself by pushing its extended wings into the mud, definitely alive, but probably not for long. There was a CLAPPER RAIL on Hooks Island east of the tide gate and a PEREGRINE FALCON dining on top of one of the nearest power towers.

At 12:20pm I refound the COMMON MURRE right where Mike Mammoser and I saw it last night - and it was dead, with head twisted upwards and wings spread. This bird was on the Flood Control Basin side of the channel 1/3 of the way from where the channel pulls away from the dike to where it opens up onto a mud flat (the dike at this latter spot had rip-rap right to the water's edge - no reeds). Apparently there were two birds out there. Seven BLACK SKIMMERS were chasing a NORTHERN HARRIER in the nearby Flood Control Basin.

The bird further up the channel was a juvenile. If the other bird was indeed an adult (can Wildlife Rescue confirm this?) then these two likely arrived together, as the adult males care for the single chick from each brood well after leaving the nesting colony. e.g. http://www.sfu.ca/biology/wildberg/bertram/triangle/comu.htm Mike Rogers Received: from mms3.broadcom.com (mms3.broadcom.com [63.70.210.38]) by plaidworks.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id g7UN0CV06079 for <[[email protected]]>; Fri, 30 Aug 2002 16:00:12 -0700 Received: from 63.70.210.1 by mms3.broadcom.com with ESMTP (Broadcom MMS-3 SMTP Relay (MMS v4.7);); Fri, 30 Aug 2002 16:00:11 -0700 X-Server-Uuid: 1e1caf3a-b686-11d4-a6a3-00508bfc9ae5 Received: from mail-sjcw-1.sw.broadcom.com (mail-sjcw-1.sw.broadcom.com [10.20.128.21]) by mon-irva-11.broadcom.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA10401 for <[[email protected]]>; Fri, 30 Aug 2002 16:00: 11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pc2kmikem (dhcpe1-sjcw-254 [10.20.64.254]) by mail-sjcw-1.sw.broadcom.com (8.12.4/8.12.4/SSM) with SMTP id g7UN0B1Z004166 for <[[email protected]]>; Fri, 30 Aug 2002 16:00:11 -0700 (PDT) From: "Mike Mammoser" <[[email protected]]> To: SBB <[[email protected]]> Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 15:59:29 -0700 Message-ID: <[[email protected]]> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) X-WSS-ID: 11712771165340-01-01 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [SBB] : Sender: [[email protected]] Errors-To: [[email protected]] X-BeenThere: [[email protected]] X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I went out to the impoundment north of Alviso Marina this afternoon, 30 Aug 02, where I met Andy Gibb as he returned and told me of 2 SNOWY PLOVERS present.
